The last
star not observed as
of 13 August in our current project. Really a difficult object due to
two
factors; one, way far north, 10 degrees from the pole! a fork mount
equatorial
has a difficult time of this as the business end slides thru the forks,
not
much room for cameras, heads, eyes. Also a tight binary, WDS separation
has
closed to 0.574 at 21 degrees. Measured,
poorly, 0.6 sec at 022.5 deg PA with
uncertainty of 6 degrees.
